Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 425 Getting Harder
In the Heat's second home court, the fans' momentum was obviously stronger.

If you win, you will have confidence. This is the truth in the whole world.

The Heat actually made changes to their home lineup when they returned to the home court, and they went directly to one big and four small.

Anyway, Haslem is also a fake starter, and the Heat also thought about it clearly, but they didn't expect to be so stable. If they want to be stable twice, they will lose, so it's better to go all out.

After winning a game at home, they think so even more.

It seems that the opponent of the Timberwolves, that is, the Grizzlies, persisted and did not change the starting lineup.

A lineup of one big and four small is really helpful for the Heat's offense, but the premise is that the Big Three can score and the defensive end can do a good job.

Anyway, there are advantages and disadvantages, no matter what kind of lineup, the Timberwolves will target it.

This time, they didn't play well. According to the law of character conservation, the Big Three felt good on the field.

Of course, it's not that exaggerated, but the Heat's first home player really feels good.

In this case, the standard is normal, should it be guarded or should be guarded.

On the Timberwolves side, the output is always stable.

The Heat have fewer insiders. Although James can top, it is still different from Shinjong's insiders.

And if they can't get on the two inside lanes, they will definitely lose in rebounds.

In this case, James consumes more. If the Heat want to gain something, they must achieve achievements before James' physical strength declines.

In fact, the Heat's offense did not meet expectations, and it was considered a failure.

Defensively, they hope they can get it back, but they really can't figure it out.

Instead, Miller started, and Miller couldn't guard Paul George at all.

Of course, he can't guard DeRozan or Love, and Chalmers can't handle Curry alone.

With an extra defensive weak link, the Timberwolves took this as a breakthrough point and played a very team offense.

Everyone has performance, but they have absolute strengths.

The super-level performance of the Big Three on the field covered up these. Now that the weaknesses are exposed, Heat coach Spoelstra feels very helpless.

It cannot be solved tactically. He can only hope that the players will have a breakthrough in spirit and get it done by being active.

Their first substitute, Ray Allen, is also old and won't play so early.

However, Ray Allen will basically not go down when he plays, and the Heat hope that they can continue to increase their intensity.

The Big Three rely on strength, but in fact, the position depends on everyone's hard work.

And their freshman, freshman and fourth junior start actually narrowed the rotation, and Battier, who can swing the front line, also got more playing time.

But at this stage of the game, no matter who the Heat's rotation players are, they are actually helping the Big Three, only responsible for defense and shooting three-pointers.

So whether they are bigger or smaller, the Timberwolves don't need to care too much, just pay attention to their three-pointers, and focus on other defenses on the Big Three.

To be precise, it is still James and Wade, and it is easier for Bosh to limit it.

"In fact, the change of the Heat is to change the soup without changing the medicine. At the critical moment, it is similar to the previous few times. It just stays on the court to help them become Ray Allen." Zhang Sixin laughed.

"We still follow the plan, but we must do the details well. Reduce turnovers and get more rebounds. At the opponent's home court, we must also perform stronger and go all out to crush them."

When Zhang Sixin got to the sidelines, his expression became grim.

Competitive games, but there is no sympathy to talk about, they just want to maximize their advantages, and then target the Heat to the death.

The Heat were more courageous at home. Although the Timberwolves turned away in the first quarter, James and Wade, who only took a breath in the second quarter, adjusted their hands.

Their long two points became accurate again, helping the Heat stabilize the situation.

This kind of shot is basically impossible to defend, because the inside defense cannot reach this area, so we must first prevent them from breaking through.

Of course, try to interfere as much as possible, but it can't be completely locked.

It's just that the three-pointers that limit the two are similar, but their three-pointers are indeed worse.

And their further mid-range, defensive strength will increase a lot.

So now they can only bet on the feel. The feel in the first quarter was not good, but the second quarter was okay.

Back in the locker room, Spoelstra also encouraged the players.

"We've got back to normal and now just keep it up and we can beat them again at home."

Zhang Sixin also affirmed the players, "Gentlemen, don't be confused. Our defense in the first half was very effective, and our offense was handled well. Of course, we will continue to strengthen our strength in the second half. We have more people with the ball than them, so don't be afraid of anything."

"To what extent the intensity should be increased, and when their outside shots are inaccurate, it means that our intensity has played the expected role."

The Heat actually dropped faster than Zhang Sixin expected. In the third quarter, the Heat also followed the Timberwolves to increase their intensity. As a result, the shooting percentage of James and Wade dropped significantly, and Bosh lost his shadow.

Bosh is really not suitable for this kind of high-intensity play. His confrontation is not his strong point, which directly makes him invisible on the offensive end.

Love is stronger in confrontation, but it will also affect the offense, but his main role is to rebound and support, and he will not reduce his presence as much as Bosh.

As for Curry, no matter how intense the confrontation is, he may suddenly hit a three-pointer.

And Paul George is not affected much, he just shoots.

On DeRozan's side, after Wade's physical strength declined, he started to get up. Players with good physical fitness just don't talk about martial arts like this.

And to grab rebounds and do a good job in the inside line of defense, the Timberwolves don't need them to bear too much offensive responsibility.

You only need to eat a pie occasionally, or grab an offensive rebound to make a tip-up. It's easy, but the Heat can't ignore them yet.

Minnesota's lead has expanded unknowingly, and Heat coach Spoelstra's face is getting worse and worse.

On the surface, it seems that the two teams have back and forth, and they seem to be about the same, but the advantage of the Timberwolves will increase by 1 or 2 points in a few minutes.

But regardless of other things, the Heat's rotation in this series is still unhurried and unhurried.

Starting from the rotation period, they have also gradually entered the final decisive lineup.

However, the Heat's bench can really play a role, in fact, only Ray Allen.

No matter how much skill Ray Allen has left now, an All-Star is an All-Star, and a short-term burst is far better than a role player.

And with the rotation of the Timberwolves, the physical strength of the Big Three has actually had some problems.

It can be supported by spirit, but the hit rate cannot be guaranteed.

The Heat want to defend their home court, and as time goes by, it has become more and more difficult.
